I'm not sure this is a legitimate memory: It could be confabulated.
Anyway, I seem to remember Richard telling me in an email that as far as
what you could and couldn't do with the respectively licenced code, they
were essentially the same. If my memory is accurate, the distinction he
strongly made was that Open Source didn't prioritize freedom, but
instead prioritized convenience and value to business, and he felt
that was a bad thing.
